Diving in to Reading

To kick-off our year as voracious readers, we watched a short film titled, "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore," and explored the entire collection of books we have in our classroom library.  The short film celebrates the power of books - if you have not seem this film yet, I highly encourage you to watch it!  It is a magical story told without words.  As students explored the books in the classroom library, excitement and enthusiasm towards books erupted; we all found favorite books within the mix as well as captivating new books to try.  We are looking forward to the books we will share together this year!
